Any word on my problem? I've tried all the legal fixes I can and it just keeps happening :/

I apologize sunshine. Yes, go back to a previous save.

Thanks very much Metro fingers crossed it works!

Edit: So it looks like my Sim is glitched I went back to before she was pregnant and tried again, and it was the same result when she gave birth.

I have a question/issue I can't find a ruling on via search.

Having finally bitten the bullet and added Supernatural to my game, I've started a Life States Dynasty.  My founder, a genie, befriended teen witch Jules MacDuff, and once he aged up to young adult, they began a romance and got married.  But I've encountered a problem.  Normally, teens have 4 traits and gain a 5th when they age up to young adult.  According to the Sims Wiki, Jules is missing a trait, having only 3 as a teen.   (I've seen that before with townies, but not usually with housed NPCs.)  Once he was part of my household as a young adult, I found that although he did gain a trait when he aged up, he is still missing one, having only 4 instead of the usual 5.

Do I play him with only 4 traits, or do I add one via cheats, or shall I do something else entirely?  I searched around, and while I seem to recall a ruling on this sort of thing for a different dynasty/challenge, I can't find any ruling regarding NPCs with fewer traits than they should have specifically for the Life States Dynasty.

Thanks!

You have to take him as he is with his missing trait.

What do you do if your sim asks someone to marry them, and then it turns out there are children and pets in the household that won't fit in your household? There is no way to quit the screen. I'm at Generation 6, I'd hate to ruin it now.

You are not allowed to move any children into the household it is spouses only.
What happens if you just click to move the spouse in.

I think it just got missed, but I'm still having weather issues in my game and I was wondering if there was anything I can do about it? Look on the last page and you'll see what I mean.

Metro said you can go back to a previous save for your travel problem. I personally cannot see a problem with using testing cheats to sort the temperature out,but I will Pm Metro and Rica to get their opinions if you want to wait awhile for confirmation.

That's fine. I'm going on holiday and I only have internet until Thursday so if I could get an answer before then that would be good but if not then it would good if somebody sent me a PM about it so I can get the answer when I get back 

[ratchie]

The boss man says you can use testingcheats to change the temperature just remember to turn testingcheats off when you are done.

The problem was that there was no other adult in the household, but 3 children and a pet, which clearly weren't going to fit in my household, so I couldn't move in the mum, but I couldn't quit either. In the end I sat there reading dyansty tips for hours, and looking at houses, and downloading patterns (had a field day) and then realised that I had fogotten one of gen 5's requirements.  Would would have been the outcome? How can I avoid the moving problem in the future?

[Shirin]

If they were her own children, then they should have showed up in the family tree upon boyfriend/girlfriend status. I believe you can also invite households over, and it'll bring everyone.

Beyond that, not sure about the children, but I thought the pets would have been ok.

[smartburn]

I'd imagine the pets would be okay too.

As for the kids, maybe once you find out about them and you've decided the parent (or guardian or whatever) will be the spouse, either throw an age of instant elixir at one of the kids and/or hold a surprise birthday party (or two) complete with cake before moving the parent in (you can cake up anyone on the same lot as a birthday cake as long as one sim day has gone by since they last aged up; the elixir has no such limitation). My understanding is that teens can be left with just children in a household though I'd age one of them up to YA to be safe.
